Impressed with this park. Very clean and rate is reasonable. No water or sewer at our site, but dump out station is available. Lobster bake going on here this Saturday night with live music. Site we are in is very spacious. Not a whole lot to do on the island other than the Rosavelt park and a few site seeing spots. Incredible beaches and spacious parks. Great place to visit for a quick trip. - Matt7571

This is an older but well maintained park located on Campobello Island, NB the summer home of FDR. Our site 38 was not level but manageable with 30 amp electric, water spigots are available through out the park. Staff was extemely helpful and park was clean. - Ronahue

Rate is for seniors in US dollars. This is a very nice provincial park and the staff is eager to be of assistance. There are 2 areas, one for tents and another with pull through sites and 30A power for RVs. About 1/2 of the RV sites are in the trees and the other 1/2 are in an open sunny area if satellite reception is necessary or for larger rigs that could be brushed by the branches. The trees appear to be trimmed and were not a problem for us. The RV sites were quite level. My ratings are based on the knowledge that these are electric only sites. Those requiring other amenities might consider elsewhere. We were unable to find any OTA TV stations. - Trailbuddy

We stayed two days and had a site right on the water with a great view of the boats and islands. People were watching for whales, but we saw none. The site was level. Wifi was great. Our site was satellite friendly. Restrooms were very clean. We would give more stars if we could and will stay again someday. - Geodoc

We returned to this long-time favorite to find the same beautiful views of the Passamaquoddy Bay. The seeing is best for some sites by driving straight in rather than backing; the "wrong way" orientation works because utilities are close to the center of the motorhome. Limited WiFi is now free but sporadic. Our site was more level than the ones used previously. Satellite TV worked well at the waterside sites but probably will be hampered at spaces in the heavily-forested part of the park. Seasonal campers take up a large portion of the spaces. A few cabins are available. The onsite restaurant served overcooked lobster and plastic picks; other menu items may be better. In town, Raye's Mustard mill makes dozens of the condiments. A 3-hour boat trip gave a closeup of the "Old Sow" said by Rand McNally to be the largest whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere (best seen a couple hours before high tide). We also saw whales, eagles, porpoises, a seal and a demonstration of lobster trap fishing. The small town of Eastport features seafood-oriented restaurants with views of lobster and fishing boats. The Port is the furthest east of any in the United States. The best way into Eastport from points west is via Bangor and Calais. Other highways, including U.S. 1, are rough and curvy. A free tour of Franklin Roosevelt's summer home on Campobello Island requires a roundabout drive and passports as it is in Canada. It's a more convenient stop when you are headed for Eastport from the south. - Mtmoi

This ranks among this highest price campsites we've visited, but I can't in good conscious ding them about it. It's a relatively remote location with very nice grounds in a business that only makes the owners money during the summer season. The WiFi was very good for us. The grounds are divided into 3 areas. There is a loop at the bottom with several sites immediately along the shore, another area called The Birches that are up the hill mostly in view of the bay and in the trees. Both have analog cable TV and FHU. Further up is an open grassy area with FHU, but no cable. The prices vary with location. The ones closest to the shore are "cozy". Many of the sites were close to level, others required several boards. There are a mix of transient and seasonal campers. Our Verizon phone worked fine here, but our friend's ATT would only connect to a Canadian tower which is pricey if your plan doesn't include Canadian service. Expect some days to be bright and sunny then quickly watch the fog roll in. Our site was a backin with our door and dinette facing the bay and dock maybe 15' from the water's edge at high tide, with a rocky beach at low tide, not a mud flat. I would enjoy coming back for a week some time. - Trailbuddy

Reviews of Sunset Point RV Trailer Park

Very relaxing scenery, sites with cable are waterfront. Sites are very close together, but the park wasn't busy so we were spaced out. Cash or personal check only, no credit cards. - Ransom RVers

We looked at our stay as checking off a bucket list item, to park our RV looking out over a bay/ocean. We stayed 7 nights. When you reserve they require no down payment and ask for cash or check when you arrive. 34.28 a night, stay 7 get a discount. Showers are very clean, plenty of hot water. Restrooms are very clean and there is an outdoor sink for doing dishes with hot water. Dump station is available. My Campsite at #21 was facing the Johnson bay, we pulled in instead of backing in. It doesn't matter how you place your RV, trailer, or 5th wheel, its a tight fit. The advantage is you can see the bay out the front window, you will need to shut your curtains on each side for privacy. All your outdoor business is in front of your rig, table and fire ring, so as long as you can squeeze out your door to go down front it can work. You will need to level. The next row after the waterfront row is close as well with their tables and fire-ring across the road by the bay. They also can look at the bay from their front window. Wifi and cell are good and att had 1-2 bars Dogs were barking in campers that have been left for the day. There were 2 big dogs from the surrounding neighborhood running in the campgrounds each day, and they were all over you if you were outside. I noticed people with string lights and outdoor lights on all night. As you are parked very close to each other, porch lights should not be used. Even with dark window treatments, it felt a bit like downtown New York's bright lights. We did hear our neighbor snoring. There is an ornamental light house with lights blinking 24/7. Owner was burning trash, old furniture, and old engine oil twice while we were at the campground. It made sitting outside impossible with the smell the first night. Laundry room had nice facilities. It is windy enough that using an awning is a disaster, we observed several campers with slides that had awnings attached, retract them due to the wind. One had one rip and he taped it until he could get it replaced. DO NOT arrive before noon as there is little room to wait for your spot to open up. We did have to wait until almost 1 before the people in our spot left. The manager was very good about information on local restaurants, hiking and sights to see. Firewood 3.00 large bundle. This is a very small campground. I would not return due to dogs running loose, loose,unattended dogs barking, tight sites and burning trash and oil. - hiker13

Traveling in a 38 foot coach we stayed 7 nights in a site for big rigs (site 12). This park has power and water but no sewer. There is a dump station located by the office, or for $10 per visit, they will provide a mobile service. All sites are grass/dirt and at a slight incline towards the water. This means you will have to block-up one side of your coach (north side). The closer the site is to the water, the greater the incline. No trees here so satellite worked great...which was good because the wifi was spotty. Sites located in the middle of the park are cramped together. But, each of these sites has a fire ring and picnic table located directly across by the water. People really love this park and spend their summers here every year. And, when you experience the beautiful sunsets, you'll understand why. We really lucked out as site # 12 is the best site in the entire park (although it has a bad incline). It has the best view plus is the most spacious. We stayed here over the 4th of July and watched three different fireworks displays from across the bay. It was fantastic! If you are looking for a quiet and clean park where you can sit outside and relax...go here. We enjoyed our stay, and would go back. - JDC10

Reviews of Kiwanis Oceanfront Camping

Stopped there as a night stop, very nice campground with an incredible view of the ocean. Site was fairly flat and had to do very little jacking. - D-Miller

Campsite rate is in Canadian dollars. A very popular campground located downtown St. Andrews. The lobster dinner previously mentioned is now $16.50 (CAD), delivered to your RV. If you try to make a reservation before they open in the spring, you will get an automated email response that says don't duplicate the request. Turns out the campground never got the reservation request I made in January. They don't know why they lose some requests. Anyway 30 amp service (shared box), water (40 PSI) and sewer. Utility connections are at the back of the campsite, I need extra water and sewer hose. WiFi was not secure, and dropped out frequently. Verizon cell service was weak 2 bar reception. 5 OTA TV channels. About 50% seasonal residents. - Bburgbrewer

Nice park if visiting Eastport/Calais area. Quiet park with a lot of seasonal residents. Most of the sites are very clean and decorated and the people are friendly. Our site was a pull through and we had to move around a couple of times to get in a good spot to level with wheels on the ground; we saw several coaches with wheels far in the air. Wifi was hit or miss and quit most evenings. All utilities worked well and sites are good for satellite. - z32k12

We arrived at Hilltop on Sat. Oct 1.There were only about six or so sites for transients and the rest of the 84 sites were taken up by trailers parked there permanently serving as weekend/vacation homes albeit most being well kept with clean, tidy surroundings. As we were settling in to our site we noticed that people were getting ready to party all around us. People were moving about with drinks in hand in golf carts and on foot with little respect for the privacy of those who were not part of the growing ' celebrations'. The parties grew louder and extremely loud music started in the close by hall until well past quiet hour. The next morning we mentioned the noise to management (owner) and the reply was 'it's the end of the season .....'. We decided to stay another day because most of the 'seasonal' folks were packing up and closing their trailers, mobiles, etc. for the winter and we did get a quiet night on Sunday night. Probably a place to avoid on weekend nights if you want some privacy and quiet, as the few transient sites are basically pull throughs and are in the middle of the seasonal back- in sites..... Not really the type of RV Park where you can tuck into a quiet corner for a night or two and enjoy some privacy. All those potential spots were "seasonally" occupied similar to many other RV Parks we have visited that tend to have a majority of similar occupants. Facilities all worked well but you had to go up to the office to get adequate Wi-Fi. Good cell reception for AT&T. Nice location over looking the coastal islands and waterways near the Canada - US border. - Nabob

We were given a space with a fifth wheel in front of us and in order to able to fit in to our space we had to park a foot off their back bumper. Then as we were hooking up we realized we were in the middle of a Drunken Brawl of a Party! We wish they had of told us that there were hundreds of people coming for a Drunken Party with included lots of very loud music, screaming and yelling and driving little golf carts all around while drinking! Not a person passed our RV without a drink in hand. We would have chosen to stay somewhere else. The "free" Wifi doesn't connect at all. . The lawn needed mowing and the grounds are very old and tired. I don't think we will ever be back. We looked long and hard to find something nice about this place but there is nothing! - Gracii

This campground offers a unique experience to camp along a beautiful cliff with views of the ocean and the occasional appearance of whales and seals swimming by and sea gulls and cormorants flying by. There are sites near the entrance which are in easy reach of the office with flush toilets and showers. And the WIFI. There are apparently a few full service sites near the entrance. However the main attraction of the park are the "cliff edge" and "cliff top" sites. These have chemical toilets nearby and water can be carried in from the entrance. The sites also have car parking nearby. We saw whales and seals swimming by as we sat in front of our tent. It was truly a unique experience. The sites were spaced quite far from each other and were very private. There are facilities available near the entrance but the beauty of the cliff sites made up for any inconvenience of distance from facilities. It is a good spot to explore Grand Manan and experience hiking and whale watching. There is a terrific French Bakery on the island not to be missed! One downside is there is a foghorn nearby and if it is foggy it is very loud. You will need earplugs. - Odyssey58

Typical state park --- pretty setting, no utilities at site. They have a water/dump station near the entrance, but use the driveway closest to the entrance to get the dump on the driver side. Sites are VERY secluded, mostly level, mostly grass. A few looked less level. In July, the mosquitoes were pretty fierce. Our site was WAY back in the park and if we had needed their showers we would have needed to commute via car or bike. Too many low branches on the way out for a big rig. We went slow and dodged most and scraped a few. The rangers were friendly and said they'd trim 'em back. We got lucky and got satellite at 16; Site 15 looked to have much more open sky. - darwinmoore

We stayed over the July 4th holiday 2017. Our site was large and private but because the ground is perpetually damp the mosquitoes were the worst I've ever seen. The showers are decent but the facility is open to the bugs so you will get bit by mosquitoes and horse flies. A tip for anyone booking site 10, the rangers may direct you to approach from the south (site on your left). Instead, approach from the north, take the loop by sites 2-8 to accomplish this. We will visit again but will shoot for late summer / fall when the bugs (hopefully) aren't as bad. - Maineiac

Beautifully maintained State Park close to many Downeast Maine sites. Terrific place for children, supervised, to bike and play at the huge playfield, nice new looking playground equipment. Lovely covered picnic tables and cooking devices, plus horseshoe pit. - pakngo

Stayed October 2017 A beautiful lakeside setting with grass sites and comfortably sized spots. Serviced by super polite and helpful staff, she made sure we were settled comfortably and provided some great suggestions on things to see in the area. Lake looked most inviting, unfortunately a fall visit wasn't the time to swim. Services all worked without problem and were handy for hooking up to. Park was well kept, a large number of full time seasonal units occupy spots by the lake, but the transient sites are great. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay again in the future. - Riptorn

Verizon doesn't work in that part of Maine.

This is Oct in Maine. Park is closing for the season. Very few people there.

Host was great! She works part time and she lives in the park.

The laundry building has seen better days, roof is rotten, glass missing in some windows no door. Soaking tub was nasty. Washer and dryer worked great!

Beautiful Lake listened to the loons until I fell asleep. - SubVet SSBN619

Most of the sites are seasonal. The sites for people like us were for the most part to the point that people have to use boards to drive on or place them under the jacks to get level. There is no sewer but they do have a pump out service if needed plus a dump. Water pressure is terrible so we had to use the pump for decent pressure. Our 30 amp electric plug was burned to the point I would not use it so I switched to another connection. Getting to the campground requires travel over a 1/2 mile rocky dirt road which I didn't like. - Mooney 201 Pilot

Rate was just $20 CAD or USD because the campground was closing for the season. Self registered since the office was closed. Our site was not level, but okay for one night. We had good DishTV reception, but weak Verizon cell/internet reception. The park has many seasonal/permanent campers. The park was okay for a one night stay at the reduced rate. - Dave51

This park has a lot of permanent residents but everyone is very friendly. You can get three over the air TV stations from Maine if you are lucky. No wifi. Nice pool and activities on the weekends. You can walk down to the beach and it is just beautiful. Your dog will love it - not too many rules here and a very pleasant place to stay. There are not too many sites with a full hookup 50 amp, but if you can get by with 30 amp for a few days, there are some lovely sites on the water. - mary mcmoo

This large, open, grass campground features a narrow paved road for access to sites that are mostly grass with a thin bit of gravel. Our site was not very level and the ground was rather wet and mushy, meaning we also had plenty of gnats and mosquitoes. The site had a convenient electrical hookup that we didn't use, but no water or sewer hookups; we did use the convenient dump station where we also filled our fresh water. Even at our site at the end of the loop, the WiFi signal was good and most of the time the throughput was excellent. Toilet, shower, and laundry facilities are available, but we didn't use them. The low price was a very good value for the amenities provided. - DaveInOhio

Lovely relaxing campground on a lovely relaxing island. The RV sites are widely spaced in a grassy field and many have a view of the ocean. The tent sites are separated by bushes and have great privacy. There are no full hookups, but many of the sites have electricity. No sites have

We were there the first week in July and many nights only 25% of the sites were occupied. There was excellent free WiFi in the sites near the office. The campground is only minutes from the very picturesque town of Seal Cove, and about 15 minutes from the spectacular Deep Cove beach. The campground has nice showers and one washing machine and dryer. - chopchopbillygoat

We found this campground to be quiet and clean. Some sites have a water view. We opted to stay in an unserviced site so we could have more privacy. The majority of the serviced sites (27) were in an open field with only a few trees for shade. Our site being on the edge of the forest was shaded and had a distant water view. There was a playground and the beach was a short walk. We found the bathrooms clean. Although we didn't use it, a laundry was available as well as a kitchen shelter. Grand Manan itself is beautiful with lots of nice beaches and coastline to discover. - Rockwood
